Chapter 355: Troubles increase
In the carriage, Murong Qiyan heard the voice and did not speak, she only gave advice, whether to work together or not, and what to do next, it was Lin Feng's decision to do it.
Although Lin Feng happily kissed her on the cheek, she didn't show any pride.
After all, no matter what she does now, it is to ensure the safety of the Rong clan in Yan Country and ensure that the tribe is not ******** in Yan Country, she feels that she can do what she needs to do, what she can do, and the rest of the things have nothing to do with her.
When Lin Feng heard this, he didn't take a good look, turned his head and continued to ask: "Qi Yan, this patrol envoy must find someone who is upright and has brains to take on it, who do you think in Yan Kingdom has the ability to take on this important position?" ”
In Lin Feng's impression, the inspector should be selfless, wise and brave, like a black-faced bag, anxious about the people's needs, and able to solve the actual problems well.
Otherwise, if you set up a patrol envoy and you don't do it upright, but instead become the umbrella of bullies everywhere, things will go against your own ideas.
At present, among the officials of Yan State, if you want to find someone who is upright, it is not easy, Situ and Chu Fuyan are indeed iron-faced and selfless, and they do things without leakage, but the two of them have the talent to help the country, if they spend their energy on inspection, who will be in charge of the government. Wen Jishi and Jian Yuyan, not to mention, the two have superhuman abilities in the military, and they definitely can't waste time on inspections.
The rest of the people have a specialization in the art industry, Yu Zheming is in charge of the money and grain of Yan State to ensure the normal economic development of Yan State, Li Mengchang has a three-inch tongue, in terms of diplomatic etiquette, he can do perfectly, but he has never been in contact with the case.
It stands to reason that the establishment of patrol envoys should be from the criminal department to spot check officials and promote several inspectors, so as to ensure the stability of the mule and horse cities in all parts of Yan State, however, Liu Chengfeng is old, and both father and son are important ministers of Yan State, Liu Chengfeng is in charge of the Criminal Department, and he only does his job well, but rarely promotes officials, so as to avoid the suspicion of forming a party for personal gain.
In addition to these people, there seems to be no suitable person in the court, but in Lin Feng's mind, there are currently two suitable candidates, Zhao Shide, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Ji Qiong, the servant of the Ministry of Households.
However, in view of Zhao Shide's previous performance, Lin Feng didn't want to reuse him anymore, this guy seems to have different intentions, even if he doesn't have different intentions, he is also an out-and-out son of the family, first the family and then the country.
At the beginning, when the problem of the family was resolved, Lin Feng communicated with the six Shangshu in advance, hoping that each family would support him, however, Zhao Shide deliberately went against the imperial court, and on important issues, not only did he not support himself, but on the contrary, he also showed arrogance, united with the officials of the court, and tried in vain to confront him.
Lin Feng was not afraid that he would not be able to control Zhao Shide, but he felt that it was too annoying, and he didn't need to spend his time on someone who was not loyal to him. Moreover, he has not been in Yan Country for a long time, and he has kept the scourge of Zhao Shide, and if he can't keep the other party's dissent at some point, it will definitely cause harm to Yan Kingdom, so he simply took it out at this time to avoid future troubles.
On the contrary, Ji Qiongsu has the ability, as Yu Zheming's deputy, in the past two years, he has handled the money and grain issue properly, and he has the ability to take charge of it alone. It's just that there are a lot of things in the household department, and the dispatch of Ji Qiong to leave will inevitably increase Yu Zheming's workload and affect the finances of Yan State.
Now, Lin Feng couldn't make up his mind in his heart, so he could only ask Murong Qiyan about it, hoping that Murong Qiyan would help him analyze and give a definite answer.
"Zhao Shide and Ji Qiong, who do you think is more suitable, isn't it Ji Qiong?" Lin Feng tilted his head and asked.
But he heard Murong Qiyan say directly: "Zhao Shide, Liu Chengfeng and the two of them are old, if you feel that the two of them stay in the court, you can let them hand over the power in their hands and promote the newcomer again, not to mention that you don't trust Zhao Shide, you are not happy to keep him in the court." Moreover, people like Zhao Shide, who take care of the small family and forget everyone, will not be too reliable after all. ”
According to Murong Qiyan's words, Liu Chengfeng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is indeed older, but Zhao Shide, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is not very old, but he is more than forty years old, but just like Murong Qiyan said, he is like a chicken rib, it is a pity to abandon it if he eats tastelessly, since Zhao Shide has fallen out of favor, he should not occupy the pit and not.
When Lin Feng got the answer, he stopped talking, and just nodded in agreement, what Murong Qiyan said was right, prevention is better than prevention, there is definitely nothing wrong.
Murong Qiyan and the others also stopped talking, and the carriage still slowly moved towards the palace.
Just when Lin Feng returned to Yan Palace, the battle between the four kingdoms of Zhao Zhengliang in the north and south did not converge because of the arrival of winter, and the battle in the west was still in full swing, without the slightest hint of truce.
After the alliance of Taimu Mountain, Lin Feng paid all his attention to the Jin Kingdom, and did not pay much attention to the situation of the Four Kingdoms, and the current battle of the Four Kingdoms, the situation was far beyond his expectations.
Among the four kingdoms, in addition to the Southern Zhao guarding the thirteen counties and being weak, Zheng Liang and Northern Zhao are both powerful, with a territory of thousands of miles, and the Liang State has more than a million soldiers.
When the three kingdoms of Zhao and Zheng in the north and south combined forces, and Li Mu, a famous general of Zhao State, led the troops into the territory of Liang State, he was taken by surprise and caught Liang State off guard, until the fall of the four counties, he sent the same number of wolf cavalry troops, blocking Zhao Zheng's 500,000 troops, and at the same time sending 500,000 troops, on the contrary, attacking Northern Zhao and Zheng State, from the perspective of Liang State's soldiers, Liu Wenlong did not show weakness at all.
This battlefield, since then into a protracted tug-of-war, the war lasted from summer to winter, the two sides have won and lost each other, the north and south Zhao and Zheng three countries conquered the six counties of Liang, but the Liang army was on the territory of Zhao, also conquered the four counties, at present, in order to resist the wolf cavalry of the Liang country, the north and south Zhao temporarily abandoned the previous suspicions, jointly dealt with the Liang country, and now, to deal with the north and south Zhao army led by Feng Zixiu, is resisting the Liang army with all its might.
Almost half a year has passed, and the armies of the four countries are in three battlefields, and no one can help the other side, especially the troops of Zhao and Zheng, in order to gain an advantage in the war, they take the preemptive strike, and they do not have a detailed understanding of the strength of the Liang State.
As the war progressed, the Liang State became more and more stubborn and powerful, and Li Zhao and Zhao Ke realized the seriousness of the war and began to show vague unease.
Liang Guo is strong, beyond the two of them expected in advance, no matter the number of wolf cavalry troops, or combat effectiveness, it is completely different from the influence that Liang Guo's wolf cavalry usually gives them.
What's more, it takes money and food to launch a war array, and the Liang State failed to change the law on the surface, the country was weak and the people were poor, but secretly accumulated a large amount of materials, and among the six counties conquered by the Three Kingdoms alone, there were many purchases of grain from Zheng and Song, and a lot of ordnance from Chen.
In the face of Liang Guo's long-planned plan, both Li Zhao and Zhao Ke were taken aback, but it was better to strike first, otherwise the problem would definitely be more complicated.
Now Zhao Ke is very incomprehensible, he and Lin Feng ascended the throne at almost the same time, he doesn't think that he is weaker than Lin Feng, unexpectedly, now the Yan State is full of vitality and rapid development, but the Zhao State is divided into two, and it is mired in war, consuming a lot of manpower, material and financial resources.
With the stalemate with the Liang State, according to the current situation, Northern Zhao will be dragged down and will become more and more depressed.
A few days ago, Zhao Ke received news from Yan State, and learned that Yan State was in the east with lightning speed, attacking the city and plundering the land, not only conquering Jinyang City, but also capturing the Beichen clan alive.
At first, it was learned that Zhao Ke subconsciously felt that the information was wrong, no matter how bad the Jin State was, how could it be that he was defeated by the Yan State in more than half a year, and even the monarch Beichen Qiong was captured alive.
Later, not long ago, Beichen Qiong and Beichen Ge were escorted back to Yanjing, Zhao Ke was completely sure of this matter, and she was suddenly shocked and a little overwhelmed.
In the past, if the Yan State was small, the Northern Zhao did not take the other party seriously, however, now that the Yan State annexed the Jin State, and bordered the Northern Zhao State in the west, no matter who wins and who loses in the three kingdoms of Zhao, Zheng and Liang in the future, the Northern Zhao will inevitably face the Yan State Iron Cavalry sooner or later.
Thinking that Lin Feng was strong, the blade warrior was strong, and the north Zhao was east, and when he was unprepared, a fierce beast appeared, and Zhao Ke's heart became more and more entangled.
Now that the Yan State is in the east, it is economically united with Chen and Song, and the Jin State is annihilated militarily, and the speed of national strength is simply unmatched.
At first, he also planned to change the law first, and then annex Southern Zhao, so as to restore Zhao's former hegemony, and began to continue to expand eastward, turning Yan and Jin into his pocket.
However, things are changing too fast, and many things are beyond his pre-planned, and now, Mo said that after annexing Yan Jin, Liang Guo alone has become a big trouble for him.
At this moment, Zhao Ke glanced at Liu Zhuoya and Gu Xiwen who were sitting below him, his face was heavy, and his tone was weak: "Doctor Liu, Doctor Gu, according to the current situation, the situation is very unfavorable to Northern Zhao, what should we do next?" ”
Thinking of the current situation in Beizhao, Zhao Ke has a headache, the war is in a state of stalemate, and Yan Guo has emerged in the east, and the domestic law change is not comprehensive because of the war.
Zhao Ke boasted that he had several abilities, and there was nothing that could not be solved, but unfortunately in the current situation, things were complicated and became helpless, he had no plan, so he could only focus on the two of them.
In any case, the two of them have the talent of the world, and in the current war, if there is no Li Mu to lead the troops outside, and there is no Liu Zhuoya to strategize, the situation of Northern Zhao will be even worse, and under the front of Liang Guobing, how can they hold on.
And Gu Xiwen was in charge of the Northern Zhao reform, and in the case of continuous war, it was still difficult to implement the change, raise money, food, and ordnance for the front-line army, and ensure that the army had no worries.
The two of them are one and the other, they are his right-hand men, he didn't realize the importance of the two before, but now as the war has fallen into a stalemate, he has become more and more aware of the importance of the two.
Liu Zhuoya looked up at Gu Xiwen, and then at Zhao Ke, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, a little weak, Gu Xiwen invited him out of the mountain before, he came to Beizhao with full ambitions, and secretly thought that he could make Beizhao in a situation by himself, but he didn't expect things to change too quickly, and it was beyond his expectations.
